Aliquis and Albica have been swimming together for 12 hours now. She's super eggy/stripey!!! Al isn't as interested as I had hoped. He goes over and flares at her, shows off, and then goes and hangs out in the corner. No bubblenest yet. A couple of random bubbles have appeared in the tank, but not a nice neat nest. The waiting is agony!!!

They've been together for a couple days now. She was contained for about a day before that. He never went after her maliciously, so there have been no injuries at all. There's a few sporadic bubbles popping up in the tank, but not in nest-form.

WOO-HOO!!!! came home from a road trip today to a BEAUTIFUL bubble nest!!!!! It was perfect!!!! I'm so proud. I released Albica, who is striping up nicely, and they are currently dancing around each other. I am sooooo excited!!!
